The pump filter (also called the debris or drain filter) on your front load washer ensures that no foreign material, such as small cloth, pins, button, coins, passes through the pump and that your washer drains properly. If you need to emergency drain a front-load machine, view the guide Here.
It is advised that you clean the pump filter (also known as a debris or drain filter) of your washing machine 5-6 times a year to optimise operation, keeping your laundry free from odours and bacteria.

To open the cover, either press in the top corners to unlock it or insert a coin or key into the slot above the access panel and gently pry it open.
Water will then begin to flow out. Make sure the bowl is positioned to catch the water.
Note: Some filters feature a safety knob that is designed to prevent accidents by children. To open the safety knob of the filter, push in and turn it anticlockwise. The spring mechanism of the safety knob helps open the filter. To close the safety knob of the filter, turn it clockwise.
